I've been struggling with this from a language perspective and
while not fully happy, believe/hope the below may improve things
a bit.
Sandra, any recommendations from your end?
Martin, is my update technically acurate?

- New <code>no_sanitize</code> attribute has been added. The attribute
- on functions is used to inform the compiler that it should
- not do sanitization of all options mentioned in sanitize option.
- A list of values acceptable by <code>-fsanitize</code> option can be
- provided.
+ A new attribute <code>no_sanitize</code> can be applied to functions
+ to instruct the compiler not to do sanitization of any of the options
+ specified. Acceptable values for <code>no_sanitize</code> match those
+ acceptable by the <code>-fsanitize</code> command-line option.
